THIS. Last time I pointed this out on another site I got downvoted. There really is no excuse to break the down button and if the abuse becomes widespread I can imagine browser devs will react the same way they did with popups.

As soon as browse nav was busted I totally lost interest in any benefits this app has. If nothing else it’s shoddy development.

You probably got downvoted because it was against the sidewide guides.

I sometimes/often wish there was tags on submissions so that one could avoid even clicking on stories that had this "feature". It would also be great if I could get a feed without, e.g US politics in it.

TiddlyWiki runs entirely in the local browser, without any server-side logic – sharing it with the world is an atypical use-case to me, aside from plugin demos. https://classic.tiddlywiki.com

Hmm, seems to work for me here. And that's after I clicked around a bit too. Then multiple back button clicks returns me back to here. (Safari)

Same for me. Firefox on Windows.

I noticed that the back button continued to work with Firefox on Linux, but the keyboard shortcut (Alt+left arrow) did not work.

That's the initial page that clicking on the submitted link redirects to. The back button seems to work in a standard way for navigation with the webpage itself (as it's just a single html file; it's Tiddlywiki after all); it seems that the back button is broken only across the initial navigation from an external site to this webpage. That's ok with me personally (just have to long press/long click the back button on Chrome/Firefox, and on Safari even the initial navigation works fine), given everything else that this page is doing. (Besides, in practice if you were to use this you would be opening the downloaded index.html file in a separate tab/window anyway, not navigating to it from other webpages.)

Same here. Additionally, it doesn’t work on mobile as the menu blocks the content.

Holding down the back button usually does the trick.

I turn off javascript using noScript when this happens.

My default for noScript is to trust sites because browsing the web with javaScript off is both painful and not a privacy improvement.

Moving sites to untrusted blocks annoying pop-ups. And every time I provision a new computer, Wikipedia reminds me to install noScript.
